CibbuanoCrowley on track for round one return
November 16th 2009 10:36
FREMANTLE tagger Ryan Crowley is on track to return from a serious foot injury in round one next year.
The 25-year-old, who had his 2009 season ended when he injured his right foot in the round six western derby against West Coast, was initially happy when told that he hadn't broken any bones.
However, it was revealed that he had suffered a complicated torn ligament injury similar to the one sustained by Hawthorn defender Trent Croad in the 2008 grand final.
While Croad's playing future is in doubt, having not played at all this year, Crowley has progressed well in his recovery and has won the Dockers' time trials over the past three weeks.
Crowley said he was happy with the state of his foot.
"The foot's fantastic. I couldn't be more happy with it," Crowley said.
"The last little bits of the jigsaw are still to go in before I'm right back into full training,"
"But I couldn't be happier with how it's going at the moment."
Crowley expects to start full training soon.
"If it was up to me it'd be next week but it'll be over the next couple of weeks I think," he said.
"I feel like I'm sort of trying to push it along but they're sort of reeling me back a little bit so it'll probably be two weeks."
